Marsden Hartley, hailed as a bridge between European and American modernism, was a nomadic artist whose travels profoundly shaped his work. Though he remains less known in Europe, his legacy is immense. He was a poet and a painter who explored a vast range of styles, from the abstract military-themed works of the First World War to the desolate landscapes of New Mexico. His later works, including this powerful depiction of Christ, are some of his most emotive and profound.

'Christ', painted circa 1942, is a stunning example of Hartley's expressionist mastery. Despite not being an adherent of any organised religion, Hartley was a lifelong seeker who was deeply involved with Christian mysticism. This engagement shines through in this painting, a work that explores the pathos and suffering of the crucifixion. He painted this powerful series in the last years of his life, perhaps reflecting on his own mortality.

One of the most striking features of this painting is Hartley's unique portrayal of Christ. The figure is rendered in an androgynous style, with masculine features like a beard and chest hair, yet also possessing feminised, sensitive facial features and breasts. This self-identifying portrayal is a testament to Hartley's deeply personal and modern approach to a traditional subject. The painting's elemental chromatic triad of blood red, inky black, and ashen white creates a powerful visual and emotional impact, conveying the agony of the cross with an intensity that few other American modernists dared to explore.
